This was pitched to me as Gothic, which it resoundingly is not. It's also not a mystery as much as a reflection on the fact that many histories, especially of women, can't be known. I felt for the characters, and I think they're emotionally well-developed and written in a really thorough and complex way. Finished because I wanted to know what happened, but in the end, I just didn't feel like it was enough for me.
